  No problem at all.

  I'm english educated and hang out with chinese educated people.

  They affectionately call me ang moh beng.

  I call them my ah beng and ah lian friends.

  They fall over laughing at my attempts to speak mandarin and argue endlessly over whether I pronounced a word right. (I feel I do pronounce chinese words without an accent, and they just assume that any chinese word that comes out of my mouth is not quite right).

  I correct their often horribly mangled english.

  I make fun of them for mixing green tea with their Martell. They make fun of me for not knowing the difference between chee kuey, kuey pie tie, and god knows what other kinds of kuey. (Okay now I know what is chee kuey and kuey pie tie).

  No problem at all.

  Can chinese educated people ( i.e people who converse in Chinese, study mostly cheena school) clique with English educated people? (speaks English at home, studies in english schs like SJI)

   

  On the basis that they haf nice characters that is...

   

  Is it possible? It sum how seems to me that their lifestyle vary too much to haf much to share with one another..

   

  Wad do u think?
